How does your small intestine get nutrients to your cells?
The lumen of the small intestine is lined with microvilli, which are small hair-like tentacles that protrude from the lumenal surface. When nutrients get "trapped" in these microvilli while passing through the small intestine, they diffuse into the blood stream through various transporter mechanisms and elements. This is one of the reasons why your small intestine is so long, so that all the nutrients can be absorbed before passing into the large intestine where most of the water gets resorbed to produce fecal matter.

What is diverticulitas?
What is diverticulitis? Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots, like an inner tube that pokes through weak places in a tire. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. Pouches (plural) are called diverticula. The condition of having diverticula is called diverticulosis. About 10 percent of Americans over the age of 40 have diverticulosis. The condition becomes more common as people age. About half of all people over the age of 60 have diverticulosis. When the pouches become infected or inflamed, the condition is called diverticulitis. This happens in 10 to 25 percent of people with diverticulosis. Diverticulosis and diverticulitis are also called diverticular disease.
